herbivore v carnivore?

[kath3]

i do like meat. and have to be honest and say i don't think about the slaughtering of the animals when i eat it. i have been inside a slaughter house back in the day and it was gruesome. i should be more thoughtful when it comes to choosing what i eat but i'm selfish

Most people don't think about the slaughtering of animals or the horrific living conditions they live in or the gruesome deaths they endure to sustain us ... if people did there would be many more vegetarians.
Our meat is so politely packaged that most people don't even see meat as an animal.

It's more difficult to eat healthy being a vegetarian, isn't it? Meat contains all the essential amino acids necessary to construct
human protein, but vegetables always lack one or another so that they have to be combined intelligently to complement each other.

Actually this is incorrect. Quinoa (kinwa) often thought of as a grain is actually a seed and therefore contains no gluten. It's considered a super food because it is a complete protein, containing 8 essential amino acids making it an excellent meat substitute in vegetarian dishes. I use it in much the same way as rice.

by the way,over here they're really hard to grow without poison ,they get attacked by caterpillars and aphids so i gave up on them[growing them i mean]

srijantje, here's a great way to grow them without poison.
Go to a fabric store and buy some crinoline ... it's cheap, at least here in Canada. Cover your rows of brocolli, cabbage, and cauliflower with it. The sun and rain are able to get through but will not weigh down too heavily on the plants and break them. It's great for keeping the cabbage moth out. I use garden pins to hold it in place, stones will work as well.
The other positive part is that it is re-useable year after year. For us it also works great to keep the deer from nibbling.

... and classier manure.

I like that ... "classier manure" Plus you don't end up with all the weeds as you do from cow/horse dung, and you can place it right around the plants without burning them.
